Chapter 2: Playing a Trick
I’m going to talk about this world and the other world here. About ten years ago, an event called the “fantasy break” occurred in this place that we usually call “Earth”. During that period, creatures that previously only existed in myths appeared.
It seems that from then on, the fantasy world of some other world and part of this world were fused together. As a result, all kinds of monsters like yokai, fairies, and ghosts appeared. In Japan, there are also people who gained the ability to fight with “spiritual power”.
They were originally called Onmyoji1, but these days, they are mostly called something else. This is especially noticeable in schools, although they foster talents to succeed the original Onmyoji. The schools that especially want to attract students even change the names of their classes.
1. It says “陰陽師” which is translated to diviner, specifically a Yin-Yang Diviner or Onmyoji. I’m just going with “Onmyoji” for now, unless there’s something better to put there (they sound like cultivators imo x’D)
In other words, those with a light attribute are part of the “Hero’s Department” and those with dark attributes are part of the “Demon King’s Department”. The names were changed in hopes of attracting a little bit of interest, since it is a field that depends a lot on talent. By the way, I belong to the Demon King’s Department 1-A, and Rei belongs to the Hero’s Department 1-C.
The classes were not divided by ability, so I happened to be in the class next to Rei’s. That’s part of the reason why Rei is able to come to my class comfortably. Besides, Rei is now very pleased, even though he was in despair when he first found out we were in different classes.
So, that’s the story of this world. However, I have another secret. My body has “dark spiritual power” that is normally not conceivable, even though it is “sealed”.
Yes, my “true power” is different. By the way, Rei also has “light spiritual power” that is sealed away because he currently cannot handle it. However, it was called “magic power” rather than “spiritual power” in the other world.
The walls of the world were originally thin due to the influence of its connection to the other world, and because of my enormous power, I became the Demon King in the other world while I slept in this one. It seemed to be the same for Rei, and he was a hero in that world.
While I still have my memories of the other world when I wake up here because of my enormous power, because Rei has not awakened all of his yet; he does not remember anything in this one.
That was unforgivable to me.
In that world, I am a good Demon King. However, there was still the “farce” of the hero coming to defeat the Demon King. There, there is a rule that the one who won would be given one favor from the loser.
That’s fine.
However, when I first me Rei in the other world, he “confessed”. He said that he had always been in love with me.
However, when he returned to this world, he forgot everything. Yes, everything.
Frankly speaking, I was very happy to be confessed to. Because I like Rei too. However, Rei has no recollection of his confession, even though I have already accepted it.
I didn’t like this.
That’s why I’ve decided to take advantage of the fact that he doesn’t remember confessing as an excuse to tease Rei while knowing he is in love with me. In this world, I often laugh at Rei’s face that is red with complaints while he asks why I was acting so mean.
Then, when he got angry and challenged me to a fight, I knock him down, hug him, and seduce him until he’s “half-dead” just to tease him some more.
I have enjoyed his impressive patience, but the other day I was finally defeated and embraces… he was very persistent at the time. I told him not to do it anymore, but he wouldn’t listen. He had seduced me so many times, that I was certain that this was earned.
“That’s why I’ve made up my mind, and I’m going to ‘tease’ you a lot here.”
“Kurousagi, what’s wrong?”
“I’m scheming. After all, I’m the Demon King.”
“It’s the job of the hero to thwart the Demon King’s plans.”
“Then we’ll have to honor your courage. Do you want a Dashiyaki Tamago2?

“You have to feed me.”
“It can’t be helped. I’ll feed you later.”
While I was saying that; “You two are as close as ever, aren’t you?” spoke a stranger who appeared familiar.
